On Saturday 7 November the TF Winter Series starts again. FÍF has a main sponsorship agreement with Tryggingarfelagið Føroyar, hence the name of the series.
The weather could hardly have been finer when the race was run last year
The first round will be held in conjunction with the traditional “Runt Agnið” race, which starts at 11:00 at Tofta Skúli, and Roysnið is organising it. This is the first round of the TF Winter Series 2015/16, and at FÍF we hope that runners will again turn out in large numbers this year for the races, of which there will once again be eight this winter. To complete the Winter Series, you have to run five of the eight rounds, but everyone is of course welcome to run as many rounds as they like.
Teitur surprised everyone by taking 3rd place last year This year Regin has chosen the New York Marathon over Runt Agnið
The team competition, which was very well received last winter, will be repeated in the same format.
The rules for the TF Winter Series can be found under RULES above.
We have all become a year older since last winter, and women super veterans now have their own category, so the new age categories look like this:
- Women and men, open category (b. – 1999)
- Women and men, veterans (b. 1961 – 1970)
- Women and men, super veterans (b. – 1960)
- Junior women and men (b. 1995 – 1999)
- Girls and boys (b. 2000 – 2004)
All categories except girls and boys run Runt Agnið, which is 10.3 km. From Tofta Skúli and out along the road. The route goes up onto Agnið, on to Runavík and back out to Toftir, where the finish is on the road down to the quay in Toftir. The girls and boys run 5 kilometres. They start over at Mýrarnar, near the road down to Toftavatn, and follow the same route to the finish at the quay in Toftir. Everyone starts at the same time – 11:00.
Last year’s record-sized field at the start
Registration takes place on the website here by 22:00 on the evening of Friday 6 November, where you can pay by Dankort, or at the latest half an hour before the start, in which case you must pay in cash. Bib numbers must be collected and paid for at Tofta Skúli from about 10:00. As usual, the fee for adults is DKK 50.00. Girls and boys pay DKK 20.00.
We will use the changing rooms at Tofta Skúli, and can also shower there afterwards.
Happy “super veteran women” last year The get-together after the races is always enjoyable
After the race Roysnið invites everyone to a get-together with coffee, cake and the medal presentation. Everyone gets coffee and cake, but only the top three in each category receive medals. You can read more about the Winter Series in another article on the site.
See you in Toftir
